Les chemins de l'oued

Samy, un jeune Franco-algérien, fuit la France pour échapper à la justice. Il se réfugie chez son grand-père en Kabylie. Mais il ne parle pas la langue du pays, tout lui est étranger, même les membres de sa famille : Nadia, sa cousine enceinte et veuve, qu'Issam, un cousin expulsé de France, déteste. Le grand-père vit dans le souvenir d'un bout de terre qui ne produit plus aucune richesse. Samy ne donnera jamais le motif de sa présence, mais le climat chaotique du pays ravivera le chaos qui est en lui.

Samy (Nicolas Cazalé), a young Franco-Algerian, hits a policeman at a roadblock and must flee France. He takes refuge with his grandfather (Mohamed Majd) in Algeria. But he does not speak the local language, and everything is strange to him, even members of his family: Nadia (Amira Casar) his cousin, a pregnant widow; and Qu'Issam (Kheireddine Defdaf) another cousin, who was expelled from France, and hates everything French. Samy's grandfather lives in the memory of a piece of land that no longer produces any wealth. Samy will never give the reason for his presence, but the chaotic climate of the country will revive the chaos that is in him.
